NO NEED OF CATCHING COLDS.
How the Skin Can be Trained to Render
it Non-susceptible.

How the Skin Can be Trained to Render
it Non-susceptible.
Speaking of colds, says correspondent, l
have a theory that no one need ever have one
unless he chooses; in other words, that it is
quite possible so to train the skin, that Won
derful organ which is generally looked upon
us the paper wrapper to our human bundle,
as to render 1t non-susceptible to sudden
changes of temperature or atmospheric mois
ture, whence colds come.
And this is exactly the season to COM
mence such system of pellar education. As
it has proved effective in many instances
within my own knowledge, and it is within
easy reach of everyone to try, l write it
here The theory is that no skin that has
been exposed freely for half an hour at the
beginning of the day will note small changes
or be affected thereby.
a cold is simply a nervous shock received
by the myriads of minute nerve terminals
that briste over the surface of the human
body transmitted to the centre and so back
again to the mucous membrane, the pecu-
liar seat of this special irritation. Let u.s.
then, SO train these sensitive tibres that they
will pass by, unnotlced, changes of atmos-
pheric condition, and the matter is accom-
plished .-Erchange.

needs to which it is placed,
Though civilization is gradually chanc-
ing the modes of habitation, the print
tive lodge is the standby. Log houses
have been encouraged among the wilder
Indians. and when such improvements
have been made the government very
generously aids the deserving builder
by furnishing the windows, doors and
hardware; and when completed fur
nlshes 1t with cook stove and outfit
chairs, table, bureau, bedstead and other
necessary household goods. The occu-
pant of the lodge, however, who has not
shown progress and enterprise, has
none of these benefits, and cooks and
sleeps as his fathers did. To see his
neighbor progressing and being thus re-
warded for it is an incentive to do
likewise. But the lodge is usually found
beside it and is the most natural home:
the log cabin being a very convenient
and comfortable abode during the wiatry
blasts and forty degrees below zero.
When game was plenty-when the
buffalo roamed over the great prairies of
the West and Northwest-the Indian
lodge was made of buffalo skins. In
those earl y days the market for buffalo
hides and robes was limited, the fur
companies preferring to trade N peltries

A GEOLOGICAL CELEBRITY.
The Death of Great Curiosity in Edin-
burgh's Botanical Gardens,

The Death of Great Curiosity in edin-
burgh's Botanical Gardens.
A famous object of curiosity to the sight
seers who visit the Botanical Gardens in
Edinburgh has just passed away in the per-
son-if the term is admissible-of the old
sea anemone popularity known by the dice
tionate nickname of Granny" This ven
cradle specimen of the curious class of ZOO
phites which belong to the very borderland
that separates the animal from the vegeta-
BILE world was certainly sixty years old,
and it may be that it was considerably
older. 1t was found in 1928 by Sir John
Dalzell, the well-known antiquary, among
promontory known as St. Abbs's Head on
the coast of Berwick; and was described in
one OF those two sumptuous quartos devoted
by him to Rare and Remarkable Animals
OF Scotland, which were published by Mr..
Van Worst, of Paternoster Row, some forty
years since
It was, we believe, on the death of Sir
John, IN 1854, that this remarkable speci-
men of the Actinozoa passed into the
possession of Prof Flemming, and hence
found permanent home in the beautiful gar
dens where it has ended its honored career.
Granny" so called on account of its uumer-
GUS offspring, said to be over 600 in number,
can naroly oe reproached with gluttony,
dropped regularly once fortnight into
the membranous esophagal tube which does
duty for mouth. Whether it possessed
any which could be said to approach to
the nature of breathing apparatus is, we be-
heve. point on which the learned are not
quite decided; but it is certain that Granny
appeared TO thrive on her fortnightly half
mussel, with it's accompanying draught of
1resh water. 'Granny's" album, in which
their names, is stated to be enriched with
more than thousand autographs of dis

1t appeared to be in excellent health up to a
few weeks ago, when it was attacked with the
parasitic. disease which finally proved fatal. !

because of their greater value and ease
of transportation. As the demands for
buffalo robes increased and the faclll-
ties for their shipment improved, the
much-abused Indian trader furnished
substitute for the old-fashioned lodge in
the shape of tent-canvas, taking the
robes in exchange. These lodges or
"tepes" were made in the same style as
now, being of dressed buffalo skins,
sewn together with sinews and stretched
on tapering poles Joined at the top, but
radiating at bottom, forming a circle
capable of holding from forty to fifty
persons. In winter they were very COM
Portable. But the buffalo is gone, and
the lodge of to-day is made of canvas.
Summer is passed by the wild Indian
in great ease. His tepe is staked upon
some elevation, and on the outside
shade composed of brush is erected.
Here the comforts of the season are in
dulged in, and usually whatever work is
accomplished is done here. Hard work
is one of the things that wild red man
is not fond of, except it be the chase, but
the squaw is, in her way, an Industrious,
hard working spouse, chopping the wood
and carrying the water, while her liege
lord eats, sleeps, dances, smokes, and
takes rides and hunts. These lodges are
places for lounging, and there is much Of
it done.
During the winter season the lodges
are either moved into the timber or
willows are cut and barracade placed
on the north and west sides to protect
them from wind. One would scarcely
believe that this aids as much as it does;
and if one had ever been in prairie
snow blizzard" the wonder would be all

HOW ARDS LETTER.
A SATURDAY AFTERNOON STROLL
INNEW YORK CITY.
Some of the Various Sights One Sees-The
Scene on neutrality-suspicious. Men Most do
Congregate-TheB attery-Main Ferries
Madiso~ Square by Night and by Day.

Saturday afternoon is a pretty good
thing in its way. 1t would be difficult
to imagine a more enjoyable promenade
on Saturday afternoon in New York than
Broadway. And yet how different are
the thrOngs upon its several sections
At the lower end commerce and frivolity
meet. On the one hand are crowded
piers; streets massed witt carts, express
wagons, carriages, hearses, and huge
drays loaded with cotton, enormous vans
filled with furniture, all the evidences Of
commercial prosperity; clerks busy with
paper and pencil; brawny WOrkmen in
Overalls and short sleeves, squirting to-
baccO juice upon the pavement, as with
herculean efforts they pile box upon box;
keen-eyed merchants tlattening the nose
of eagerness against the pane of obser
walton, carefully scrutinizing the labor
of their employees; the sharp click Of
Geographic instruments, the hello, hello,
of the telephone tiend, the loud cursing
of belated drivers; and on the other
hand restless, eager, pushing, driving
crowd hurrying to the several ferries
and the piers.
There, too, is the huge Battery, dis
figured by the elevated road, whose drip,
drip, drip is gradually destroying the
grass, as it has long since married the
foliage and made it's paths unpleasant.
At three o'clock Saturday afternoon
Broadway is crowded with vehicles of
every name and size. The left-hand side
walk, shaded by high buildings, is the
favorite-the dollar side-as the other
long since was dubbed the shilling side.
Occasional writer's speaking of crowds
utilize the expression human tide"
If ever there was human tide, null
titudinous outpouring of men, with here
and there woman apparently amazed
at the quantity of maculinity that
swarms about her, this is it.
Where are they going?
Home.
Where is home?
Well, as an occasional side street is
reached scores hurry down to catch the
elevated trains Wall street is here;
every head twists so that the owner of a
watch may compare its time with that of
old Trinity; then, with a sharp rush
across Broadway, they hurry down Wall
street to the Brooklyn ferry. Others
keep on and are passing the huge build
ings of the Mutual Life, the Equitable
and Western Union and the Ecentng
Post until they come to Fulton street.
Fulton street in New York, Ii Fulton
street in Brooklyn, is crooked, and the
legend is that in olden times when the

George Mayors, Marylander, the honor of
designing and directing the construc
ton of the first railway built in the
country, between the years 1914 and 1916, at
Falling Waters, near the town of Manches-
ter, in Chesterfield county, Va, on thesouth
side of the James river, and few miles from
the city of Richmond. This antedates the
building of the Quincy road by nine or ten
years. Mr.. Mayors, Sr., was engaged at the
time In experimenting a powder manufac-
tory located at Failing Waters, and partially
suppl lying, the government demand for
powder during the war of 1912 with
England. The road was built for the
purpose of: conveying the powder from
the mill to a magazine situate a couple OF
miles distant. in order to secure greater
safety, and to prevent large destruction in
case of fire or explosion. 1t was regularly
operated by means of horsepower through
number of years, and until Mr.. Mayors
death, which occurred in 1918. There is still
living in Baltimore a gentleman of advanced
age, Professor George Elliott, Of ballooning
fame, who lived with his father at the seat
of the MILL who frequently rode i'll the car
riages used upon the railway, and who, it is
said, can verify the truth Of the foregoing

The greater. In tn. ,utlure or the lodge
built fire, and the opening at the top is
adjusted to suit the direction of the wind.
Here the same condition of affairs con-
inues, except that the Indians are much
more neighborly, and the stories of past
exploits are related, their horse stealing
their present condition deplored.
The lodge is often painted on the out
side with pictures of horses and Indians
with the history of its owner in hero,
.,lyphics, or with that of the crane,
which to them is known as the "holy
Bird A camp of these lodges is
quaint sight, sometimes mingled with
great deal of interest. The feasts and
tasts, the dances and funerals, the good
heart and the bad, the games of chance
and the multituIes of cur dogs, go to
make up wild Indian village
When the family of lodge has gone
on visit it is not necessary for the
neighbors to call to ascertain their pres
ence. The entrance TO the lodge is sim
ply closed up, and a stick or stone laid
against it to indicate that no one is
within.
The hospitality of an Indian home, no
matter how primitive, would make many
white man blush. The collee-pot is
always steaming and the contents of the
larder, such as it is, ever free to the hun
CRY visitor. In fact, there is scarcely
anything which gives otfense more read
lily than refusal to partake of their gen.
erositv. Their children are much thought
of, both by father and mother, and, es-
pecially among the more progressive, the
advantages of schools are given them.
The government and the missions are
throwing out every inducement to the
Indian to become man among men and
make himself home. TO such who will
abolish the tribal relation and become
farmers the government builds neat
little cottage for each upon 100 acres of
land that had been allotted to him, and
at the end of twenty years it becomes
his or his heirs in fee-simple All the
requisite machinery, horses, cattle, seed,
&c, are given him to do with, and with
the education that is being given the
the next generation will be found
far more progressive than one at this
time can scarcely realize. Then it will be
that the Indian home will be more gem
orally after the white mans architecture,
for the elevatng influences that are
being wound about this race can but
have its benefits in time.

At the foot of Fulton street is the
main ferry of the Union Ferry Company,
across which the bulk of 100000 of
people are carried every year. Part of
these are men with baskets in their
hands, with bundles under their arms,
and with cigarettes in their mouths
whom we see tlocking eagerly down the
street on their way to their homes. At
the head of Fulton street stands the old
time St. PauPs Church. In a great
square pew therein formerly sat George
Washington. From its grassy levels tower
stately monuments and so to cent you
can't find two who can tell you in whose
honor those tombstones stand.

A Dull Thud,

The facetious Photographer makes consid-
cradle sport over that time-worn expression,
"a dull thud," which occurs so often in fic-
ton. Yet no adequate substitute has been
discovered to appropriately express the situa-
ton when the soft parts of ones anatomy
come down with emphasis on the hard por-
tons of a stone Highway.

A SIMPLE BAROMETER.
"Nature's' Infalllble Sign of the Weather
of the Future.

of the Future.
One of the simplest barometers is spider $
web. Nature says that when there is pros
pect of rain or wind the spider shOrtens the
hlaments from which its web is suspended
and leaves things in this state as long as the
weather is variable. If the insect elOngates
its thread it is a sign of fine, calm weather,
the duration of which may be judged Of by
the length to which the threads are let out.
If the spider remains inactive it is a sign Of
rain, but if on the contrary it keeps at work
during a rain the latter will not last long,
and Will be followed by fine weather. Other
observations have taught that the spider
makes changes in its web every twenty-four
hours, and that if such changes are made in
the evening just before sunset the night will
be clear and beautiful.
